houses it looks like a wholesale business, and, more¬ over, a growing business. In 1909 the value of sta¬ tionery handled here was little over $83,300; in 1910, over $112,000; and in 1911, $133,000. The print shop paper stock is another story, several, in fact, downward in the basement where Wm. Dean works for economy and little waste. Then you take one look at Wm. Duffell, the patriarchal proofreader. He is too busy to let you take more than one look—the pleasantest old boy in captivity. He used to be at the case at the old Deering print shop, and he has been an I H C treasure ever since.
So far so good. You would naturally expect the print shop to be as well equipped in regard to safety devices and lighting, as all other IHC establishments, and you guessed right the first time. Every press, every paper cutter, every stitching machine, and every exposed shafting is screened with a heavy wire screen. A serious accident is unheard of, and danger thereof non est. In addition, a complete new lighting system was installed during the past year. All drop cords (dirt catchers) have been done away with. New iron conduits have been put up for general lighting, both for the cases and elsewhere, and individual lights are ready for individual needs. To the printer good light is a Godsend, to the Company, it is good business. And well is the Company rewarded, for printing, above all things, is a particular work, and the work that these men do is particularly good. They get out huge quantities of the most diffi¬ cult job work, such as 600 different kinds of direction papers, of from 300 to 15,000 each, both for domestic and foreign use. They have an annual output of 25,000,000 twine tags, 2,000,000 or so letterheads, and
folders, enclosures and pamphlets to untold millions, not including the monthly issue of about 43,000 H.^r- vester Worlds. That the print shop is needed is

Employes' Benefit Association

Harvester World magazine was first published by International Harvester Company in October of 1909. From 1909 to 1946, Harvester World functioned primarily as an employee magazine, carrying news from various factories, branch houses and dealerships around the world. The magazine included biographical sketches of employees; notices of retirements and promotions; announcements regarding new company initiatives or building projects; and a variety of other news relating to nearly every facet of the company’s world wide operations. The magazine was published by the company’s Advertising Department, and also functioned as a way for headquarters to communicate with dealerships. In 1946, the magazine was redesigned and eventually shifted from an employee magazine to a more customer-oriented focus. By the 1950s, most Harvester Articles were human interest stories centering on the people and organizations who used International Harvester products. At the same time, photography became an increasingly important element in the content and presentation of the magazine. The magazine was discontinued in 1969.
